At this year’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (IEEE DySPAN) event, research partners from SpectrumX, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Spectrum Innovation Center, were honored to receive both Best Paper Awards and a Best Paper Runner-Up Award.
Winning papers were selected by the symposium’s Technical Program Committee. One Best Paper Award was presented for the Policy Track and another for the Technical Track. Winning papers are expected to be fast-tracked for publication.
“Receiving the Best Paper Award at IEEE DySPAN 2025 was a tremendous honor,” said Aditya Wadaskar, recent Ph.D. graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles.
“This recognition coincided with the completion of my Ph.D., and I see it as the perfect culmination of my research efforts over the last five years. It reaffirmed the relevance and impact of my chosen research direction and has impelled me to continue pursuing these problems in the future with renewed vigour.”
The following SpectrumX researchers were recognized for their outstanding scholarship with IEEE DySPAN Paper Awards:
Best Paper – Policy Track
Federico Bobbio, SpectrumX postdoctoral associate (Northwestern University), Randall Berry, SpectrumX research partner (Northwestern University), and Michael Honig, SpectrumX research planning committee director (Northwestern University), are listed among the co-authors of “Costly Measurements to Incentivize Spectrum Sharing.”
Best Paper – Technical Track
Aditya Wadaskar and Danijela Cabric, SpectrumX research partner (University of California, Los Angeles), co-authored “Satellite-Terrestrial Coexistence in FR3 Band via Hybrid True-Time-Delay Array-based Nulling.”
Best Paper Runner-Up – Technical Track
Seda Dogan-Tusha, SpectrumX postdoctoral associate (University of Notre Dame), Armed Tusha, SpectrumX postdoctoral associate (University of Notre Dame), Muhammad Rochman, SpectrumX graduate student (University of Notre Dame), Hossein Nasiri, SpectrumX Ph.D. student (University of Notre Dame), Joshua Roy Palathinkal, SpectrumX Ph.D. student (University of Notre Dame), and Monisha Ghosh, SpectrumX policy outreach director (University of Notre Dame), are listed among co-authors of “Evaluation of Indoor/Outdoor Sharing in the Unlicensed 6 GHz Band.”
IEEE DySPAN 2025 was held May 12-16, 2025 in London, England. The symposium brought together registrants from over 13 countries and focused on advancing spectrum innovation to meet the growing demands for wireless capacity across diverse applications. Last year, IEEE DySPAN was co-located with NSF Spectrum Week 2024, an event hosted by SpectrumX.
